PITTsTON.

Being in Pittston Wednesday evening we
were invited to visit TIE fair and levee Of the
Hecla Engine Co., at Jewett's Hall, and spent
dies made good showing. Every one seemed
to feel at home and enjoy themselves in a
quiet and pleasant manner. Mucn credit is
due the committee of arrangements for their
good taste and judgment in arranging the
programme. We were surprised to learn
that the engine was not owned by the town,
but by private individuals. They will run
the levee three evenings, and are in hopes to
procure money to repair the tub and pur-
chase necessary apparatus for the coming
summer.

Tho Coming of the Carleton Op-
era Company.

-
era Company.
On Tuesday April II the great
Carleton Opera Company will be at
the Opera House and present the
greatest operate sensation ever pro-
duced at the Casino, New York
City, where 1t ran one year Ma
nou." The Carleton Opera Com
pany's performance Of comic opera
are recognized throughout the
country. as the finest ever given in
America. 1t numbers a half hun
dred Of people headed by the most
minent artist ever engaged in
comic opera, w. T. Carleton. 1t
has full large chorus which con-
tains twenty five young ladies, of
whom it is said like number for
youth, beauty and song, cannot be
equalled upon the stage. The CON-
pany is famous for its magnificent
and elegant costumes and it brings
with it full car load of superb
scenery.
The saloon scene in the second
act Of ''Nanon" painted by Hoyt,
the greatest of all scenic artists, is
the handsomest picture ever placed
upon the stage in this country, not
excepting any of the great theatres
in the East. Mr.. Whitney Allen,
the advance representative of the
Company, took the measurements
of the Opera House stage yester-
day, and found that this scene can
be used here. The company have
been playing at the Bush Street
Theatre in San Francisco for the
past five weeks to packed houses
Notwithstanding the fact that 1t has
had Booth and other great attrac
tions at the other theatres, against
it. The San Francisco press is en-
phatically unanimous in declaring
the Carleton performances as the
most perfect ever given in that
city. The music is light and pleas
ing to every body, the pictures pre-
sented are charming, while the fun
is both refined and unproarious,
that the Opera House will be pack
ed, Is already a foregone conclu-
sion.

Tho Man who Secured Lottery
Ticket SC. BOG.

Ticket 5000.
To begin with, we wish to stat.
that the foregoing story is strictly
true. and not published as an adyer
tisemeDt of the Louisiana Lottery
Company.
The facts of the case are vouched
for by Governor Stevenson, Chas.
Friend, Postmaster White and
several other equally trustworthy
persons.
About u month ago Louis Colon,
a man employed at the r. r. shops,
dreamed that he had drawn a large
prize at the Louisiana Lottery
drawing by securing ticket Nos &c.
1896
He paid little attention to the
dream, hut the next night he again
dreamed It, lie then became con
viuced that he wouli win if he Sc
cured the ticket, and going down
t. Sweeny' 5 asked for the number.
Judge his astoni>hment when he
was told that Henry Meyers a Car
son Valley rancher. had purchased
the ticket not moment before
Going to the faro room he found
Meyers, and asked hIm if be wanted
to sell his lottery ticket. Meyers
declined, saying that a medium had
told him that this ticket would
draw one Of the FIVE capital prizes.
Colon then told him his dream, and
finally Colon paid Meyers 800
cash for half interest.
He also told Governor Stevenson,
Friend and White of his dream,
and also several parties about the
shops.
Everybody was laughing at Col
ons dream, but when the day APP
preached for the numbers to be
telegraphed several parties offered
him $40 for an interest in his
ticket, which he refused.
Sure enough, the num0ers were
telegraphed, and No. Sc 1886 wasn't
there.
Then the man of dreams carefully
scanned the whole list and figured
on the approximate prizes, but no
sign of No. 1896.
That this dream did not come
out true is the remarkable part of
1t, and causes general comment
among Colon friends.
If anybody has carefully perused
this story expecting to see the
dreamer get the capital prize at the
end, he or she can call at this office
and get the subscription refunded
We are telling a straight true
story, and will not round off any
story different from the truth just
to please the popular taste for ro-
nance.

CATCHING SANTA CLAUS.

One damp. rainy morning when Christmas was
near,
A shout from my nursery fell on my ear;
There, romping and playing in merriest giee,
Was the happiest group you ever did see.
There were Harry and Julia, Lucy and May
To say nothing of Puss and her kittens or Tray
When opened the door, such sight met my view!
I wish could paint it and show it to you
The little ones there, all armed with long sticks,
Were poking and prying high up in the bricks
ofthe chimney-because they said that they knew
Santa Claus was up there; they declared it was
true;
For while they were playing and dancing about,
The SCOT and the ashes came tumbling out:
Twas Santa Claus peeping, to see them at play,
And knocking 1t down as he scrambled away
"And, o motherr' cried Lucy. (the baby was she,)
~ saw him as plano, as plain as could be!
Isaw him. know 1t; saw his big foot,
And twas covered all over with ashes and soot
And If sister had only caught hold OF it quick,
We'd have pulled him right down here, our dear
old st. Nickl
We never would have hurt him, but treat him 50
good,
And wash his face clean, and give him some food
And we wouldn't have put any bad soap in his eyes
And he should have half of my cakes and my pies
And he'd give me doll with bright yellow hair,
And Q rabbit and cat and a big candy pear.
oh, mamma do Just cali him know he's up
theFer'
hade them be patient-in time he'd be here,
With his bag and his sleigh and his tiny reindeer;
And the stockings good little children he'd stuff
With candies and toys, till they cried out: Enough
But to bad ones, who cried quarrelled or fought

The Origin of Phrases.

Dido, Queen Of Tyre, about seven CEN
turies before Christ, after her husband had
been put to death by her brother, fed from
that city and established colony on the
north coast of Africa. Having bargained
with the natives for as much land as could be
surrounded with bulls hide, she cut the
hide into narrow strips, tied them together,
and claimed the land that could be sur
rounded with the line thus made. She
was allowed to have her way, and now,
when one plays sharp trick, he is said to

A tailor Of Samarcand, Asia, who lived
on street leading to the burying ground,
kept near his shop an earthen pot, in which
he was accustomed to deposit pebble
whenever body was carried by to its final
resting place. Finally the tailor died; and
seeing the shop deserted, person inquired
what had become Of its former occupant.
'He has gone to the pot himself" was the
reply by one of the deceased's s neighbors
During battle between the Russians
and Tartars private soldier Of the former
cried out: ''Captain, I've caught Tar
tar" ''Bring him along" said the officer.
aHe won't let me, was the response. In
vestigation proved that the captive had the
captor by the arm and would not allow him
to move. So Catching Tartar is ap-
plicable to one who has found an antagonist
too powerful for him.
The infamous Catherine de Msdici had
her favorite palace, the Louvre, supplied
